NHS Borders has said it is "fully committed" to paediatric and neo-natal service provision in the region.
It follows reports that the area would not have enough junior doctors to cover services from February, with the situation worsening in the summer.
NHS Borders said it had a five-year plan - employing more consultants - and reducing reliance on trainee medics.
Medical director Sheena MacDonald said it would help to ensure services in the region were sustainable.
